THE PELLBOW® BY PELLETRON
SPECIAL PIPE BEND
Reduce unwanted fines, eliminate the formation of streamers and reduces wear to perform above and beyond the typical long or short radius elbow or blind tee with the Pellbow®.
A special pipe bend for gentle conveying of dry bulk materials, using the Pellbow® avoids problems caused by friction in traditional elbows.
OVERVIEW
THE WORKING PRINCIPLE
The Pellbow® Resists Wear – Naturally. In traditional long radius elbow installations, the conveyed product drags along the outside elbow wall at a high velocity. Heat and friction create streamers and dust and wear through the elbow. By design, material flowing through the Pellbow® accumulates in the pocket or “impact zone” and moves gently upward and then out of the Pellbow®. Incoming material is deflected at 90 degrees with minimum resistance and no damage from impact.
